RAINFOREST FUNDRAISER

A Global Community Conservation Project in the Ecuadorean Amazon
Help us to protect the rainforest by joining us for PHASE 2 of our project - the building a refugio, a center for scientific studies, education, and responsible eco-tourism where people can come to learn and heal by the power of nature.


Immediate Goal of the Fundraiser
Phase 2 of the fundraising project is to build a refuge to accommodate local and international visitors for the purpose of eco-tourism and rainforest education. Through this, we continue to support the conservation of the rainforest and the region.


Fundraising for Education
Bosque Medicinal and Forest.Ink have already established a partnership with the University of Azuay in Cuenca. Students and professors from the faculties of biology, psychology and tourism are involved in exploring the rainforest and incorporating these explorations into their studies.We are raising money to build an appropriate structure in order to house them during their expeditions to the rainforest. This will give the opportunity of extended stay in the rainforest in order to learn about sustainable living, plant and animal diversity.The structure will be a refugio including a dormitory for volunteers and visitors, community living space, a kitchen and a classroom. As well as hosting local students, the objective is to create space to receive international students also. European students studying ecotourism will be invited to participate in this project, to learn about the rainforest and to contribute to future projects.

Fundraising will go directly towards:
Construction costs of the forest refugio
Building materials and tools
Transportation costs
Payment for experienced local laborers
Fundraising for Ecotourism

The long-term goal of building this refugio is to open this small pocket of the rainforest for sustainable eco-tourism. Inviting adventurous travellers from around the world expands possibility of spreading the awareness of this precious ecosystem and its importance.The organizers of Bosque Medicinal will offer eco-tourists an unforgettable rainforest experience that will increase the love and dedication to our natural resources. This will involve wild expeditions into the jungle to explore waterfalls and natural medicines growing in their natural habitats.Building a refugio to support eco-tourism will also directly economically support this project in the long term, making it self-sustainable.
